Queen of Heaven ~ Assuage My Sorrows ~ Healing
CAD $30.00
She hears the calls of those who need deliverance from illnesses, mental health, physical & spiritual sorrows. The sick may pray to her receive spiritual healing and comfort. Her slightly tilted head, suggests that the Queen of Heaven listens to the tears and the prayers of all who appeal to her with their needs, woes and sorrows. Her right hand holds onto the Divine Infant who holds a scroll on which is inscribed: “Judge righteously; each show mercy to one another; do not offend widows and orphans, and do not keep malice in your heart towards your brother.”
Feast days ~ January 25th or February 7th
Orthodox Icons were venerated in churches, public places, private homes, and were often believed to offer protection & have healing properties. This veneration split the Church in the 8th-9th century as two opposing camps developed – those for & those against their use in worship – a situation which led to many icons being destroyed and persecution of those who venerated them. Many ordinary believers had their own family icons in their homes or carried them on their person for protection like the earlier representations of pagan gods that had been worshipped in a domestic setting independent of a priest or temple. The practice may have evolved from earlier pagan rituals, as people of the ancient world worshipped statues & figures of their gods. Evidence suggests that they commissioned portraits of their gods for veneration in their own homes, just as in churches home icons were prayed, bowed to, kissed, and had offerings of incense and tapers lit before them.
Place in your home to aid in protection or even use as a focal point to give petitions and leave offerings.
